Carjacking Victim Shot By Wannabe Hero In Texas Shooting

Were constantly hearing how a good guy with a gun could easily prevent tragedies. NRA board member Charles Cotton once said the Charleston church shooting couldve been prevented if guns had been allowed in the church. Before that, Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert said the Aurora theater shooting couldve had a better outcome had patrons similarly been armed. Ironically, its a Texas shooting that now makes Gohmert look foolish.

TEXAS SHOOTING INVOLVING GOOD GUY WITH A GUN

On Saturday night around 11:15 pm, a man driving a Chevy truck was attacked by two assailants at a north Houston Valero gas station. Had this been the end of the situation, its likely that the two attackers wouldve gotten away with the truck and left the driver with a few bumps and bruises. Heck, maybe the attackers wouldve given up after noticing the attention they were drawing. Unfortunately, thats not what happened.

Noticing what was going on, a good guy with a gun pulled out his weapon and started firing at the attackers. None of the bullets hit the assailants, so that night, no one was given the death penalty for hijacking a vehicle. Even Texas shootings are bigger in the Lone Star State, though, and while the assailants got away with the truck, a bullet shot by the good guy with a gun struck the victim in the head.

GOOD GUY FLEES AFTER TEXAS SHOOTING

Once again, the situation couldve ended there. The supposed good guy with a gun couldve called for help and stayed with the victim. Once again, though, thats not what occurred. Instead, the shooter fled the scene and is currently being sought by police. Of course, maybe he was just scared and confused. That couldve led him to flee, correct?

Of course not. After the shooting, he picked his shell casings up off the ground. Anyone who watches Forensic Files or any show on Investigation Discovery knows that shell casings can be used to link a shooters bullets back to him. Isnt it amazing that a good guy with a gun would shoot an innocent victim in the head, get rid of any evidence that could prove his involvement and then disappear into the night?

After the victim was shot, the original two assailants fled in the truck. They abandoned it only two miles later, and police have been unable to find them since. Since the good guy fled the scene as well, police now have to divide their time between seeking the two assailants and the wannabe urban cowboy who thought itd be cool for the local news to call him a hero.

As of last report, the victim was in stable condition at a Houston area hospital. The two carjackers are somewhere probably scared out of their minds that theyll be charged under the felony murder rule if the shooting victim dies, and theres a good guy with a gun out there hoping police dont track him down and connect him to the Texas shooting victim.

Congratulations gun rights activists. Another victory for good guys with guns. Maybe now the shooter can steal some money from the victims family and donate it to the NRA like this ammo dealer did.
